Coincident Dynamo vs. Decware SE34I.4

Roxy54,
Understandable question. The reason I started a fresh thread is because there has been so much "topic drift" on that original thread that I didn't let my question to get lost in the shuffle. (People are currently talking about their retirement plans and their favorite classical music…" ;-)

Charles1dad,
Okay, that's very fair. I actually just went back and re-read the entire thread and found some information that I missed the first time around. You're correct that the thread is very informative, especially the amp shootout that Brownsfan did!
I think there are 3 hesitations I'd have on the Dynamo.
First, I wonder if that volume knob nestled between the two tubes up front is a finger-toasting hazard.
Second, I am a little bummed that it has only one input... that just means that I'd have to unhook my DAC and hook up my phono preamp whenever I wanted to listen to my analogue front end. Not a deal breaker but kind of a shame.
Finally, I'm a little put off by the consensus that the amp doesn't sound its best with the stock tubes, but requires tube rolling (and additional investment) to sound its best. On the other hand, I take it that the amp's built to a certain price point and that this dictated some skimping on tube quality.
Your thoughts? And thanks for all your help I really do appreciate it.
By the way, I called Coincident today and believe I must've have spoken to Israel Blume himself. He was very cordial.

Mikirob,
Didn't mean to be obtuse!
